Thanks for the advice, I've got to look into rides. I was expecting to take the train for most of the treatments but can barely get out of bed. I keep running a low grade fever. I told them and they gave me fluids yesterday. I love 4 lbs over night sweating yesterday. I'm drinking things and using the neti pot with filtered water in the future. I wish they would have waited to start til I was past this cold. Sorry to complain but I am bad off. I've lost my voice from the coughing. And I know this is only the start.
